 * Hi, this looks pretty interesting, however it would be really helpful and maybe
   push your user count if you would put a little bit more effort into documentation–
   here are some not answered questions:
    - WHAT exactly is copied to other servers?
    -  Can I use different servers at all and / or different directories on the 
      same server?
    - What about Themes and Plugins? Are these all copied over?
    -  What about plugin settings in database?
    -  What about database versioning aka migrations?
    - What is needed to get this run? SSH, rsync, whatever???
 * Of course I can study the source, but it would be however really helpful to read
   some more about what the plugin provides *before* spending lots of time with 
   reading and understanding the source and eventually realizing that this plugin
   is not what I need – this kind of saved time could be put into nice charity projects
   like helping children or removing bad governments from this planet!
 * I also found this plugin:
    [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpressdeploy/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpressdeploy/)
 * would you like to explain, what are the differences in the approach yuo are taking?
   Thanks!
 * Thank you very much for your attention!
